In the US, winnings from betting are taxable. Sure seems like those making last minute money from Polymarket should be traceable when/if these Republicans are no longer in office. Just in case anyone tied to this admin is making money off of insider info. Just sayin.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre. She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s. Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Maybe the question we should be laser focused on isn't why Trump doesn't want the Epstein files released, but rather why he no longer cares about having the voter base behind him.
